Wall St. Journal articles incomplete

Description

When I "fetch news" from Wall St. Journal and supply it with my subscription's username/password, it goes on to download the day's articles.

Problem: When I view the files in the PRS500, all the articles are incomplete. After about the first page, the second page abruptly ends the article with "... This article was downloaded by calibre from http://online.wsj.com/article/..."

See attached screenshotImage.

This problem does not happen with NYtimes articles which are downloaded in full.

'Update: The incomplete issue has to do with whether you have a subscription or not. I confirmed this by trying to access the incomplete article in a browser while logged into my subscription and not logged in.

Kovid - Can you check the code in calibre that uses the username/password entered by the user? I know I entered the correct password but it still downloads incomplete articles.

Secondly, in the password needed dialog box, when i click the show password check box, the initial password is the same as my username for WSJ. I erase it and type in my correct password but the above described issue repeats.
